community, if mishandled.

forthrightness in ensuring that justice, equity, and fairness were
displayed in his ruling for the transfer of Mr. Kanu from the Department
of State Services, DSS, cell to Kuje prison. Nnamdi kanu
In the statement signed by Mr Emma Nmezu and Dr Clifford Iroanya,
Spokes persons for the IPOB in United Kingdom, the group said: “Keeping
Mr Kanu in prison will enable him have access to his doctors, lawyers,
family members and other related parties.
“We, the IPOB are encouraged by the forthrightness of Honourable
Justice John Tsoho in ensuring that justice, equity, and fairness were
displayed in his ruling, regarding the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu from DSS
dungeon to Kuje prison.We expect a similar display of forthrightness in
the matter until it is concluded.
“We look forward to a fair trial and judgement based on facts,
evidence and logic, for this case of Nnamdi Kanu versus Buhari’s DSS.
We believe that indeed, ‘a Daniel has come to judgement.'”
IPOB expressed disappointment that the All Progressives Congress,
APC-led Federal government of Nigeria would connive with the DSS and
flagrantly flout the order of a competent court of juridiction.
“The DSS supported by the Buhari’s government flouted, and
disregarded court orders leading to Kanu staying in detention for 98
days, an action that is very reprehensible, for a government that claim
to be fighting corruption” they said.
